You are correct bruce the church is the people also called a little flock by Jesus and paul tells us Jesus is the head and the body tho has many members are all one. There are so many different named churches and have so many different beliefs. Just as Jesus said many will come in my name deceiving many. In His Olivet sermon. The fire are the trials we go trough as humans we either come out refined or we give in just as fire purifies precious metals. When we truly repent we have to change from our worldly ways and that in itself is hard. But we will also face problems from friends family and co workers. And persecution from authorities which is already starting to happen in America and other parts of the free world. Quoting the bible can be seen as hate speech now. many deceived Christians are accepting abominations to the Lord and taking scriptures out of context to justify it. Just as they did when the catholics instituted Sunday for the Lords Sabbath easter for Passover and Christs mass to vie for the pagans that worshipped tamuzz on the 25th of December. And other pagan days rejecting Gods commands to keep His Sabbaths for ever as Holy convocations. The bible is Gods word not mans we have no right to change Gods word. This is why revelation 12 16,17 and 14 12 are vitally important to understanding wether you are obeying Jesus our head or not luke 4 16
